What side are you on in the Great Cola Wars? While I realize that any soda is bad for you, I usually get the 3 liter Shasta Diet Cola, which costs just a buck at many places.
Are there any new sodas in the marketing pipeline that we should be aware of?
I say "soda", do you say "pop"? If so, why? I've heard but haven't verified that in the "UP" (upper peninsula of Michigan), they refer to it as "fizzwater". Do you think that's accurate or was that person pulling my leg?
What other names of cola products can you think up? Discuss.

Boylans is the best. They only use cane sugar, and have a multitude of flavors (in diet and regular). No HFCS, you can actually taste the difference.

I started out on Burgundy, but soon hit the harder stuff.

I preferred Pepsi until I stopped drinking that stuff a long time ago, although now and then I'll still have a root beer.
"fizzwater"
I remember something called (I think) 'Fizzies' from when I was a kid.

Some language maven has written a book on American regional English which describes various words for "soft drink" with maps showing which word is used in which region. In addition to "soft drink" and "pop", "coke" can be used as a generic word, not necessarily a Coca-Cola product.
